Brief history of the Trojan War

The war originated from a quarrel between the goddesses Athena, Hera, and Aphrodite, after Eris, the goddess of discord, gave them a golden apple, sometimes known as the Apple of Discord, marked for the fairest. Zeus sent the goddesses to Paris, who judged that Aphrodite was the fairest (who promised him the most beautiful woman), should receive the apple. In exchange, Aphrodite made Helen, the most beautiful of all women and wife of Menelaus, fall in love with Paris, who took her to Troy. Gods and goddesses are self-centered, selfish and corrupt. They are self-centered because each goddess believes she deserves the golden apple. They are selfish because they will do anything to be chosen and they're corrupt because they try to bribe Paris. If these were my gods and goddesses, I would be rather disappointed. They should be the ones to set the moral and ethical code and conduct. I think Gerard Butler would have played a good Achilles because is buff, can kick butt, and looks like he is from the Mediterranean.
